Customer Reviews
Charming Cultural Experience
As our family has a full Slovak heritage that was not shared with their full first generation in the States. This podcast brings the culture, geography, and people alive. Charming interviews. Wish this was available when I visited 20 years ago.
Charming and informative
I lived in Slovakia for two years and go back to visit every summer. This podcast is a quick, enjoyable way to learn more about this beautiful country, its traditions, and its people. I love it!
